Fluid Change on XJ
 

OK....I'm taking my 1999 XJ (ltd) in for fluid changes (93K miles,
first time for fluid changes). I bought the Jeep at an auction so don't
yell at me. I asked for both diff's to have the cover plates taken off
and fully cleaned. And for the TC and Tranny to be drained and
serviced. The mechanic indicated there are some filters and adjustments
they can make to the tranny when they are changing the fluid. Anything
else I should ask them to do? Is there anything in the front hubs?

She's been "sticking" in 4WD at times. Will this service help?

Thanks!!!

Re: Fluid Change on XJ
 

No, the sticking is probably just a lever adjustment on the transfer case.
Either that or you have a tire low on air or you drove on pavement in 4wd
part time.

If they drop the tranny pan they can replace or just clean the tranny
filter.

93K miles is a young XJ.
